Carol Aloisi

Most of our students know who Carol Aloisi is. As Coordinator of Undergraduate Student Advising for the School of Communication, she is the person to see with questions about declaring communication as a major or being assigned an advisor. Each year she serves as an advisor in the Freshman Dialogue program, and she also assists students completing a minor in communication with course selections. If there was a gold medal for patience and listening, Carol would have one.

With a B.A. from Long Island University and an M.A. from the University of Hartford, Carol teaches freshmen courses including CMM 110 Introduction to Communication and CMM 115 Improving Communication Skills. She also supervises the 5 Teaching Interns who assist in CMM 110. To help new instructors, Carol has written manuals, and she recently received a grant to integrate videos into her PowerPoint presentations. Carol’s particular area of academic interest is having student’s develop interpersonal, small group and public speaking skills.

When the snow is on the ground, Carol loves to read, and in the spring and summer has a flower and vegetable garden. She also enjoys bird watching. Family is particularly important to Carol, as she has 2 grown children and 5 grandchildren. Carol is very close to her family and regularly visits all of them.

Shelley B. Levy

As an Office Coordinator for the School of Communication, Shelley Levy handles varied tasks, from assisting faculty to ordering supplies to placing textbook orders to coordinating course evaluations. If she had to pick a favorite, it would be helping students. Whether answering questions or assisting a student in locating an instructor or a classroom, Shelley is friendly and caring, wanting everyone to feel welcome when they stop by her office.

Shelley likes planning social events like the annual reception and awards ceremony for seniors majoring in communication, and outside of the University she enjoys cooking and entertaining. She loves to share recipes, decorate her home, and loves dogs, with a special fondness for Bichon Frises. Her office features many pictures of Ozzie, her new Bichon puppy.

Shelley and her husband have been married for 32 years and they have two daughters in their early twenties, so she clearly understands the needs of college students.

Nancy Lilliquist

Nancy Lilliquist is a versatile staff member, whose roles include Office Coordinator and Freshman Dialogue advisor in the School of Communication. As Office Coordinator she handles diverse tasks like scheduling courses and analyzing data, but much of her time is spent working with the budget. A lover of numbers, Nancy is a budget wizard, taking much pleasure in never having to find a red pen for her ledgers. As an advisor in the Freshman Dialogue program, she gets much satisfaction from teaching freshmen how to make it through that first semester and then advising them until they graduate. Ask her and she’ll tell you what she likes most about being part of the School is watching our students grow, improving their communication skills, then learning how to put those skills to work.

For fun outside of her job, Nancy loves basketball games, golfing, reading, yard work, winter (yes, the season!), but most of all, playing with her adorable toddler granddaughters!
